Check out the calendar entry for Sept 10


Founded in 1982, GABMA is a group of individuals across the southeastern US who eat, sleep, breathe, live and love motorcycles made in England. Our members are all ages, come from all walks of life, and ride all brands, year models and styles of bikes. We are an active club interested in riding and preserving these wonderful motorcycles, and enjoy the company of others who share similar interests. If you enjoy our web site, perhaps we'll see you at one of our monthly meetings, one of our regular rides or at our annual "British in the Blue Ridge Rally" in the beautiful mountains of north Georgia.

Join at least 70 other riders at Kitty Hawk, NC on a ride to Santa Monica, CA. There's only one hitch. Your motorcycle must have been produced before 1916 !! That's right, it must be at least 95 years old! Wimps, posers, and girly men need not apply. To get more information simply click HERE.
